Yeah, about that.
Take this with a grain of salt, but apparently everyone in the anime industry knew what a complete disaster AoT was becoming, and so the original studio who was making it sold it to MAPPA, a studio infamous for its shitty quality, and abhorrent work practices.
As AoT became a bigger, and bigger shitshow, less and less studios wanted anything to do with it, and which is why, along with MAPPA's low-funding, they can't find people to help them animate it. According to the rumor, the only studio that would be willing to help was the only one worse to them, and that's the one who made Berserk 2016.
It's still to early to tell, but considering how shoddy some of the scenes in the trailer look, I'm thinking that might actually be the case.
Sounds like we're in for a disaster.I don't think the quality of Attack on Titan's story had anything to do with studios wanting to help out with it since there are so many shitty anime that have been produced by major studios that can make a mountain. Especially since Attack on Titan is a major franchise so it would've made bank.
The issue from what I've heard is how Attack on Titan is a very complicated show to animate since from we saw of how WIT animated it, there were so many people they had work on episodes including ones with barely any action. It didn't help with the source material being hard to animate with how they had to animate horses along with titans being quite hard. It gets worse since Isayama or the Producers had very strict deadlines for when they want shit out (which is why the final season is rushed). I say Isayama here since he has a lot of heavy involvement with the anime compared to most mangaka who usually take a backseat and just request some changes here and there. After all Isayama considers the anime to be the definitive experience for Attack on Titan.
The complications with what to animate is what turned off many studios along with the deadlines since they didn't want to risk animator's health with how large scale many things are in those arcs. MAPPA however only picked it up as the reason you have said which is how they treat their workers (which makes other animation studios treatment of workers look kind) along with the fact Attack on Titan is a major IP that would make them money.
